Has anyone put in large format LVT Tile for Kitchen Flooring?

[allthemind]

As per the title. I have LVT plank downstairs which I am very happy with. Also need to replece the old laminate in the kitchen and utility room which lead off the hall that has the light LVT plank.

I'm not sure I want to continue the LVT plank in those rooms and think it might looke better to delineate the kitchen and utility and have different looking flooring. I am pretty sold on the practicality of LVT so am thinking about stone effect LVT tiles.

Does anyone have this? Does it look good? Has anyone seen large format LVT tiles?

Yes I have Lvt stone look tiles and am v happy with them

I have stone-effect LTV put in by previous owners and I absolutely hate it. It doesn't look right and doesn't feel like stone to the touch so my brain can't accept it. This maybe my very particular issue. I'm ripping it out next summer in favour of tile.

Interested for the same reason as yours but @Catzacomment is what worries me. My brain struggles to compute similar things and all sorts of others such as swordfish and tuna steaks - consistency of meat, flavour of fish - sorry no 🤓

I have stone effect large LVT tiles. Expensive purchase but seemed a good solution. Warm to walk on which is nice. However, It has scratched far too easily. No where near as durable as claimed. I wouldn’t buy again.

Thanks for the feedback. What kind of tile would people recommend instead? (Concrete floors, no underfloor heating)

Yes, I’ve seen large-format stone-effect LVT used in kitchens, and personally I think it can look really good. It gives you more of that tiled/stone look without losing the softer, practical feel of LVT.

The main thing I’d be careful about is the floor preparation. Large tiles show unevenness more easily, so the subfloor needs to be properly flat before fitting.

If your hallway already has LVT planks, I actually like the idea of using a large stone-effect LVT in the kitchen and utility. It separates the spaces visually without making them feel completely unrelated.

I’d definitely get a couple of samples first and lay them in the kitchen before deciding the colour can look very different under your actual kitchen lighting.

We put in very expensive 'premium' LVT tiles into our new kitchen 18 months ago. Because of the weight of our work tops parts of the floor move, the joints are breaking down and the tiles bordering our peninsula have cracked. Just waiting for our youngest grandchild to get out of the lobbing stuff everywhere stage (floor is dented in a few places from his surprisingly strong throw) and we will be ripping up and replacing. Looked great when we fitted it though.
